so I grabbedthe leftovers from making my FT shooting harness and made a carry strap/ cradle for the tank to keep it from rolling around. Cost? About $2 and an hour on the sewing machine, designing on the go. side view first, then bottom.

Great idea Ric.. Another great innovation as well. Lite weight and very useful in the field or at home. Thanks for sharing with us buddy.

Thanks, Gene, but it's just a compilation of a lot of other designs I've seen, combined with the materials I had on hand. I am quitr pleased with the way it turned out.

Great idea, But being the domestic-skill challenged type that I am, I will probably skip the sewing part and alter a carpet bag with straps that go under. Just got my new steyr on Friday and picked up a loan tank from the dive shop today until my new one arrives.

 Hmmmm awkward ............

 Thanks for the inspiration. I will probably include some sort of protection for the valve though as it is the most vulnerable part of the tank.

(now where's that box cutter and old bag the missus' used to have.......)

cheers

Thanks, GS. I'l probably add to the PVC when i decide on a cart design tocary the gun, tank, cooler, stool and accessory/tool box . I have almost as much fun making stuff for airguns as I do shooting them!
